It sounded to me like Hickok45 did a favorable review of the SA35.

Yep, back on 17 Jan (Post #116)...

New Springfield SA-35

Shot 65 more rounds through it today. 115 gr federal ball ammo. I’m at a total of 335 rounds down the pipe so far, no issues. Gotta say modern polymer guns are far more pleasant guns to shoot than this. Shot a friends VP9 and recoil is about the same if not lighter on the VP9. The VP9 is also...

Was watching a video from BH Spring Solutions regarding the Girsan MC P35 and they mentioned FN had announced an updated high power.

The Legend. Reborn. Built for the modern handgunner, the new FN High Power™ reimagines the legendary 1935 FN pistol conceived by John Browning. From NATOs trusted sidearm for more than 80 years to a modern pistol designed for today’s sport shooter, the FN High Power has been enhanced to exceed...

Bottom line from the upgrades they added to a sub-$500.00 Girsan clone it was reaching the price of this FN. The FN is also available in SS.

Not seeing that, other than the FN grip design. Not a bad looking gun though, other than those grips. Can't say I'll rush out and buy one, but were I to get bored enough to that's the first thing I would change.

Interesting... It’s had many names in its century-old history and today, we reimagine this renowned design for modern use. Based on one of the most prolific and popular pistols in small arms history, the Springfield Armory SA-35 gives today’s shooters a modern take on a revered design...

Yuppers. I guess I shouldn't have unfollowed that other thread so soon but it got way off the rails.

It's not a real hi power if it doesn't have a magazine safety and 27lb single action trigger pull

Exactly where did you think it went "way off the rails?!?"

As far as TGT threads go, that one remained surprisingly focused!

If you do happen upon one, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the two. Like you, I have a HP, and am toying with possibly getting a SA clone

Impulse bought one from my FFL while picking up an MKE MP5 I bought. He says it’s the second one he’s gotten, he kept the first. Shoots nice. No hammer bite but it’s not the most comfortable gun to shoot with my thumb resting on the safety. Something is digging into my thumb knuckle/web of my hand area.

Recoil is pretty light as is to be expected and once you get into a flow it’s easy to keep punching out the center of the target at 7/10/15 yards. Keep in mind I don’t shoot nearly as much or as often as I used to.

Need to form 1 it. Have plans to put a wide HK handguard and a B&T folding stock on it.
